If you really think Brady is Brady without Belichick you're insane. It's a two way street. They've had some great defenses over the years.

Belichick doesn't sit back on the sidelines during games with his thumb up his [BLEEP] either. He's always onto something or someone.

He had Cleveland on the right path before they were moved to Baltimore and rebranded as the Ravens. In fact, Baltimore owes Belichick for landing them Newsome.

This idea though that Brady makes him is a bad take. When he's proven he can win games without him. He has a system. It works. He knows the game better than anybody.

I'm not arguing Belichick is a bad coach. I'm arguing that picking Belichick over Brady is a fundamentally stupid decision to make considering Belichick's record prior to Brady entering the lineup.

And I am telling you that picking one player over an entire team that's been built by a pretty damn football coach is stupid because it's HIS system, HIS philosophy and HIS approach to the game that makes it work.

You think any other coach in Belichick's shoes up there in New England succeeds with Brady? Highly [BLEEP] doubt it. Again, the defenses he's built, the runningback by commitee approach, the offensive lines he's built and players he's added around Brady are why they succeed.

He's not JUST a coach. He's a general manager. He works relentlessly to gain any and all advantages that he can within and outside of the rule book. Say whatever you want about Cleveland.

He had them moving in the right direction. Also, comparing Chuck Noll's era along with Terry Bradshaw is kind of stupid when you factor in the absence of free agency. They didn't have to contend with that every off season.

We can play patty cake all day with this. But go back and look at what happened in that Superbowl loss to Philadelphia. Belichick proved a point to Brady and Kraft by deliberatley checking out as the head coach in that one while benching Malcolm Butler.

How many times did Adam also bang a FG through for Brady in those earlier SB wins? You all act like he displayed "The Drive" in some of those games. Most of them were won on HUGE kicks with stacked defenses keeping their opponents in check.

Again. Two way street. But Brady would [BLEEP] buckle like a baby back [BLEEP] anywhere else in the NFL. We'll never know because Kraft chose to force Belichick into trading away Garoppolo two years ago instead of Brady.

And it was Belichick's defense that won that Superbowl against the Rams. Just like it's been this year winning them games. Not Brady. . .
